I caused a traceback in anaconda-11.4.0.27 (see bug 428891), but rather than popping up the traceback window and generating anacdump, anaconda simply hung. It turns out there was a traceback in sys.excepthook, which follows: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1062, in <lambda> File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 407, in handleException File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1101, in mainExceptionWindow File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 983, in __init__ File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 907, in __init__ File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 413, in findGladeFile RuntimeError: Unable to find glade file detailed-dialog.glade /mnt/runtime/usr/share/anaconda/ui/detailed-dialog.glade does exist and is readable.
We can't display a useful exception message here, but we can at least log an error and not traceback. I hope that's good enough.
